A new poll reveals that public support for same-sex marriage is rising in all 50 states — including the ones that still haven’t legalized the institution for same-sex couples.

The report, released by Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law and Drexel University, tracks changing public attitudes between the current day and 2004, yielding these encouraging results. According to a press release sent to The Huffington Post, even the state with the lowest support for same-sex marriage — Alabama — saw support more than double between 2004 and estimates for 2016. The study also found that in 2014, Vermont was the state with the highest level of public support at 75 percent and the District of Columbia had 86 percent support.
